This kind of poo poo in the middle of a pandemic is terrible. luminalflux posted:feeling real good rn about going through CPH on the way back to the land of the free Yeah I have to go early January for a loving check up, that they wont do locally.

Not nearly enough and they intend to send kids back to the plague mines in a week to continue killing and maiming their involuntarily maskless teachers. Masking isn't enforced and many might as well not bother. 0.4% of the entire population wouldn't have tested positive in a single day if the government was cautious. Thanks. Third cancer diagnosis in 2021 for my family. One already dead, one dying, one I'll find out tomorrow.

Something I started thinking about from reading opinions here is the misinformation spread by the faulty and dated guidelines FHM provides. There’s a general belief that asymptomatic spread isn’t a thing. This is one of the primary motivating factors behind other countries opting for mask mandates. If you don’t believe aerosols from asymptomatic infected are spreading disease then masking everyone doesn’t make sense to you.

This isn’t conjecture either, this is what krisinformation says right now. It was updated in November. No matter how you slice it that’s a radical departure from the advice in just about any other country. Denmark’s advice is for asymptomatic people who test positive to stay home for a week. fnox fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Dec 29, 2021 |

Actually one possible hope is that the spike yesterday and today is from people going to Christmas dinner on the 24th. Once we get past New Years Eve, the "social event" driver should maybe drop off a cliff in DK? Who the gently caress knows. If it's driven by people all clustering like plague rats on the 24th... and here comes nytår. But that will result in a spike around the 4th/5th.

And then all the kids going back to school on the 5th with their abysmal vaccination rate and useless Delta immunity. If only there was anything we could do to limit social events. Oh well!

Hahaha, steam purchases can ONLY be done by modilt bankid now, since I have a swedish card, and since I don't own a smartphone I'm forever not allowed to buy anything anymore. There are no options or settings to change to something I do have lol. Better hope your loving smartphone is always functioning perfectly and on hand or of socity even more. It does NOT want you.

I've been using bankid for a very long time and never had a problem that made me regret it being a thing. Feliday Melody fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Dec 29, 2021 |

My bank allows either BankID or the older "kortdosa" (physical thing that generates one-time codes). 3D Secure implementation is already required in most online stores and is going to be everywhere eventually so if you don't have BankID I'd suggest you change bank. I'm also really surprised you're only running into this now, 3D Secure has been a thing for years and years at this point. Steam is a very late adopter.

BankID has to be one of the most convenient things about living in Sweden tbh. The sheer amount of paperwork and bureaucracy you can cut right through with it is crazy. The last time I had to actually physically go to a government agency in person was to have my fingerprints taken. It being on the phone is just added convenience, your bank should’ve given you a pad that can generate auth codes.

Freja eID would normally be fine for non-bank stuff since you can provision it off your passport, but it wasn't available to me since i'm not folkbokförd anymore and that's a requirement for Freja

I'm quite sure all Nordic countries have it at the very least because banks like Nordea and Danske operate across the region. EU has also regulated it so there can't be that much difference between countries.

Much as I'd love to ditch SEB to one that actually has an app that's not locked to the nordic app stores, once you're not folkbokförd/living in sweden it's impossible to become a customer of a different bank.

Bankid is great and all don't get me wrong, but it seems like everything in society is being shoved onto the mobile version and that sucks. I'm amazed I'm still able to get into contact with healthcare, get vaccinated etc without it. Having a dumbphone I might as well be wearing an animal hide loincloth and holding a comically oversized bone and go "Me no smartphone. Luddite smash!" given how flabbergasted every "service", agency or store or whatever gets when I tell them. It's not a convenience, it's a freaking requirement and I don't like it. It's not like swedbank (heter de så för att det svider att ha och göra med dem?) could even care less that their stuff doesn't work properly on steam. Hell it could actually be intentional to only allow phones. Wouldn't surprise me at all. But hopefully someone might fix it, at some point. Doing the text confirmation usually works fine the few times a year I buy something online. I don't own a smartphone because I don't want to and can't really afford it (I haven't reached the minimum required to pay income tax for years). My current phone was a bit pricey at 350kr when I bought it 5+ years or so, but it's easy and simple to use, never runs updates and despite the age of the battery I only need to charge it 1-2 times a week. Naturally I'm also that guy in the store who prefers to use cash , because it actually feels like I'm spending money and makes it so much easier for me to keep down expenses.

We've got BankID in Norway too and it's mostly pretty sweet, but it's a separate and unrelated service to the Swedish one.

I like the healthcare part of bankid. I can Literally PM any of my doctors, and they can respond, and it still satisfies confidentially rules. Just pick a clinic and then mail away.

Hello, we noticed that you kinda borrowed Skåne, Halland and Blekinge from us a few hundred years ago. We just recently noticed that we were missing them, could we come over and get them? You don't even have to ethnically cleanse them first, we'll do it ourselves.

It should be the government's job to provide a convenient and accessible means of identifying yourself, but unfortunately that isn't the reality we live in. Mobilt BankID has been so successful it's the de-facto standard now. It's even replacing a plain old ID card in some face to face applications now. You... should probably have a smartphone, honestly, even if you only really use it as a second authentication factor. Old models can be had used for probably around the cost of your dumb phone now. Coincidentally, renewing your national ID card at the police station costs 400SEK and it's only valid for five years these days. I guess the driver's license might be a cheaper.

jeebus bob posted:Really? A license costs like 12 thousand in Denmark, what do you guys pay? I assume TheFluff means renewing the card is cheaper, not the whole driver's training. I recently had to order a new driving license card because I lost the old one who knows where, it cost 17 euros in Finland. It's only valid for 5 years unfortunately now, the old one would have been valid until we all have succumbed to climate change. But it's valid ID just about everywhere. Official ID card costs €54 and passport is €52 here. If you apply for them both simultaneously there's an 8 euro discount. But that's all theoretical, we have the Northern European passport free area so who wants a passport???

I never understood automatic-only licences. Learning to handle the manual stick barely costs an extra second of training. The difficult part is learning traffic etc. You build up a habit to change gear while you're learning other stuff. Sure, they're probably going away within a few decades. But it's practically a free skill. And manual cars will absolutely sneak up on you several times before then. Either when a friend needs your help or you need to rent a small truck for moving or some other reason.

I mean, the stick shift isn't the issue with driving manual; the clutch is. Automatic cars don't have a clutch either. Has anyone here actually tried driving both manual and automatic? Am I the only person who thinks the clutch is the devil's pedal?
